4. Create a wiki about refurbishing and connect different resources (people who donate equipment, people who are interested or knowledgeable about the process, people who need computers, people who will volunteer).
5. Add instructional content (video, still images, sound, animation) about refurbishing.
6. Coordinate volunteers to refurbish computers.

our paper
my friend Wyatt and i both wrote a standard MLA format essay, while i said biblography instead of works cited he made no mistakes.
softwear
PowerPoint,Open Office Impress , and Ibm symphony are all forms of presentation software, open office is my favorite because it has tabs that let you switch between handouts, notes and even an outline while powerpoints is much less convenint( we have no symphony )
